A bit of a contradiction in requirements there. A hard brush will give an even spread of paint. The softer a brush is, the less even the spread is. Less paint at the edges. You have 2 extremes: 0 hardness and 100 force.
I suggest leaving the force on 50 for now. That is more like what you have been used to.
The Pencil Tool will give the most even spread of paint. But it has very hard edges. Use the Paint Brush and play with the hardness to get the effect you want.
Ah yes thanks! I don't recall dealing with the "force" option before, could be something I simply didn't know existed and it never affected my brushes. I was wondering about it so I'm not surprised it's affected my brush. I figured it was something I was doing wrong- so much new stuff to work out and trial! Phew!

A better bet might be investigating the mypaint brushes, a watercolor brush would work.

and nearly forgot the smudge tool, this now works like a brush when the flow setting is a small-ish value.

Thanks, I'll try the watercolor brushes- my favorite tool is the smudge tool; I use it constantly in Gimp and PS and always thought the Gimp smudge tool worked better than the PS one.
Lots of new learning to do of an old friend- Gimp!
cheers and thanks again
